Candidate List
[edit]Is a list of all candidates standing for election WP:UNDUE for this article? I believe it likely is as few are notable in their own right. Mdann52 (talk) 14:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ping Cavrdg as the editor who has most recently edited the section. For reference, I've recently removed similar content from similar articles for similar reasons, happy to change to a single line with the number of candidates and a ref in to an external source listing all candidates, but seems rather spurious in an encyclopaedic article!

- I added those refs because, over on 2024 United Kingdom general election, a mention had been made of Rejoin EU fielding 26 candidates and it had been reverted as unreferenced. It's probably good to have the SoPNs archived for future reference but I see the BBC has a page listing all the constituencies with links giving the candidates which is better as a secondary source. A full list of candidates is probably a bit OTT but how else can we reference the number? Cavrdg (talk) 20:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- There's a primary source here to back up that claim, and this source also supports the 26 claim (and was the one I had in mind to use instead] (I know it's a blog, but these are the same org that collate this data, so it probably is ok in this case). Mdann52 (talk) 04:34, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think it is undue to have a small list for a special-interest political party in the UK, as people looking up the political party are going to want to know where they are active. If you have something like Plaid Cymru, the Scottish National Party or Democratic Unionist Party it is kind of obvious where the voter base is, but if you have a party advocating for the UK to rejoin the UK, it is not immediately obvious where the voter base is for that.
- I think that, if - over time - the voter base got a lot bigger and the party had control of half of the cities in England, but no representatives in Wales, Scotland or England, it would be easier to convey that sort of information in the article, without having to restort to a list. But with the article being relatively short, it is already going to leave readers wanting further information, so don't see a need for the list to be trimmed, unless the amount of information grows significantly.
